Workplace Manager, ANZ

About Netflix

Netflix is a global entertainment service used by more than 300 million paying members across over 190 countries. People use the platform to watch TV shows, movies, and games across many genres and languages, with the flexibility to start, stop, resume, and change plans whenever they choose.

Role Overview

As the Workplace Manager for ANZ, you will be responsible for the workplace experience and operating approach across Netflix sites in Sydney. This is a strategic partnership role rather than a conventional facilities position. You will shape physical spaces as an extension of Netflix culture, combining data, instinct, cross-functional collaboration, and proactive ownership to create environments where employees can do their best work.

You will lead with context, adapt quickly in a changing environment, and balance ambiguity with local insight and global scale. The role calls for a leader who can build a high-performing, efficient, and hospitable workplace team while bringing strong business judgment, curiosity, and strategic flexibility.

This position reports to the Director, Regional Workplace (APAC).

Team Leadership and Operations

• Lead, support, and motivate an agile, inclusive team made up of internal employees and strategic partners, while encouraging a strong feedback culture that supports innovation and scale.
• Deliver high-quality workplace services across building operations, food and beverage, event delivery, and workplace programming so that the work environment reflects the Enterprise Operations Northstar and Netflix culture.
• Promote a proactive and visible Environmental Health and Safety approach that protects employee well-being and maintains compliance without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.

Portfolio and Financial Stewardship

• Manage landlord relationships and oversee strategic workplace vendors, while retaining accountability for budget forecasting, cost control, and risk management.

What We Are Looking For

• Substantial workplace leadership experience in a fast-changing setting, with the ability to establish direction and then empower the team to deliver.
• Strong people leadership skills, including the ability to build high-performing teams, develop talent, and guide people through change.
